Questions tagged [web.config-transform]

A transform file is an XML file that specifies how the Web.config file should be changed when it is deployed.

Transformation actions are specified by using XML attributes that are defined in the XML-Document-Transform namespace, which is mapped to the xdt prefix. The XML-Document-Transform namespace defines two attributes: Locator and Transform. The Locator attribute specifies the Web.config element or set of elements that you want to change in some way. The Transform attribute specifies what you want to do to the elements that the Locator attribute finds.
